This newly renovated top-floor two-bedroom apartment occupies a desirable spot on Leyland Road with direct views across Marine Lake. At circa 765 sq ft, the layout offers a bright, airy lounge, a contemporary open-plan kitchen, and both a bathroom and separate shower room — practical for sharers or guests. The property benefits from a designated off-street parking space and an exceptionally long lease (957 years).
The flat is presented in modern condition throughout with double glazing and a mains-gas boiler serving radiators. Practical positives include fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, making the apartment ready for remote working or letting. Council Tax is very low, which reduces running costs for owner-occupiers.
Buyers should note important local and property-level factors: the surrounding area records higher crime levels and counts as very deprived, which may affect resale or rental premiums. The building dates from the early 20th century and cavity walls are assumed to be uninsulated, while the EPC D rating suggests moderate energy performance. As a top-floor home, access is via stairs only.
Overall this is a straightforward, low-maintenance buy with strong rental or first-home appeal thanks to its lake views, long lease, and move-in condition. It suits first-time buyers seeking a ready-made home near Southport town centre, or investors targeting a well-located let — provided they accept the area’s socio-economic context and moderate energy efficiency.
